{"type":"city","city":"Hudson Valley, NY","citySlug":"hudson-valley-new-york","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/united-states/new-york/hudson-valley-new-york","description":"The Hudson Valley has always attracted people who wanted to disappear into something beautiful — first the painters of the nineteenth-century Hudson River School, then the weekenders, then the architects and the ceramicists, and now, quietly, a generation of hospitality developers who understand that the landscape itself is the amenity. What makes the two properties on this list interesting is not their similarity but their difference: one is a working farm reimagined as an auberge, the other a Gilded Age mansion that has barely moved.\n\nWildflower Farms, part of the Auberge Resorts Collection and set in Gardiner against the Shawangunk Ridge, is the more contemporary proposition. The property operates on a farm-to-table ethos that is structural rather than decorative — the agricultural landscape is the architecture, and the cottages are designed to dissolve into it rather than compete with it. At rates above $1,100 a night, it is pricing itself against the best rural resort experiences in the country, and it largely justifies that ambition through restraint: the materials read as local, the palette defers to the seasons, and the programming — which leans into the Gunks' reputation as a climbing and hiking destination — gives guests a reason to actually leave the room. This is resort design in the mode of COMO or Amangiri, where the setting does most of the conceptual heavy lifting.\n\nGlenmere Mansion, by contrast, sits on its own lake near Chester and makes no effort to naturalize itself into the landscape. The house — a 1911 Italian Renaissance Revival pile with formal gardens — was restored as a boutique hotel and has held onto its period character with something close to conviction. At around $825 a night, it sits in a more complicated market position: expensive enough to compete with Wildflower Farms on price, but operating with a different logic entirely, one rooted in old-money privacy and the particular atmosphere of a house that has absorbed a century of life. The interiors have the density of a country house rather than the edited clarity of a designed hotel, and for a certain traveler — one who finds contemporary resort minimalism a little too composed — that texture is precisely the point. These two properties do not represent competing philosophies so much as two distinct desires the valley has always been able to satisfy simultaneously.","provider":{"name":"PressBeyond","url":"https://pressbeyond.com","description":"PressBeyond provides AI-optimized hotel content with a consistent 5-image structure across its entire portfolio.

Opened in 2022, the property was conceived by Los Angeles-based Electric Bowery, whose main lodge structures employ stacked stone, Corten steel, and repurposed timber to suggest something that grew from this 140-acre landscape rather than arrived on it. The open pavilion at the center — its heavy-timbered trusses framing a fire pit and an unobstructed view of the meadow beyond — captures the firm's nature-immersive ethos most directly, collapsing the boundary between building and field.\n\nWard and Gray, the New York studio responsible for the interiors, brought a sensibility that sits somewhere between Adirondack lodge and well-traveled collector's farmhouse. The great room layers deep-cushioned velvet banquettes and bouclé lounge chairs against tongue-and-groove pine ceilings and a terracotta-plastered fireplace wall hung with a folk-art textile — Arts and Crafts warmth without the earnestness. Guest rooms across the 65 freestanding cabins and cottages continue that register: oak four-poster beds, moss-green velvet sofas, kilim rugs, and aged-wood credenzas under vaulted ceilings finished in lime plaster. Every material feels chosen rather than specified, which earned the property a win at Architectural Digest's 2023 Great Design Awards.","snippet":"Electric Bowery-designed barns on 140 acres with interiors by Ward and Gray blending Adirondack lodge and collector's farmhouse aesthetics.","bestFor":"Architecture enthusiasts and collectors in Hudson Valley","vibe":"Rustic-refined · nature-immersive","highlights":["Three asymmetrical barn forms by Electric Bowery frame Shawangunk Ridge views","65 freestanding cabins with oak four-posters and kilim rugs","Central pavilion with heavy timber trusses opens directly to meadow"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$1,109","pricePerNightExclTax":"$1,109","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujglr03rp15ymt5nkqupl1713358582436_eeea2847-4ae6-4a8c-9a61-eb9b728090d0.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujmiz04th15ym8dvp2c6t1713358583099_517ca596-ea94-4f71-b093-2c8eb2ce88d2.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujsc205v915ymzhv082zh1713358581724_078dad90-4a9c-42e7-8b51-70f80a292db8.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0ujy8q06x015ymmjfhl1r01713358583719_dceb1883-f404-48c5-a8ee-2aa9166bbacf.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0uk44007yt15ym5euw8dzv1713358584510_afacccf5-7b01-4f96-956e-a806344e9cac.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]},{"name":"Glenmere Mansion","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/united-states/new-york/hudson-valley-new-york/glenmere-mansion","city":"Hudson Valley, NY","cityHeader":"Hudson Valley, NY • Glenmere Lake • OVER THE TOP","neighborhood":"Glenmere Lake","designSummary":"Perched above Glenmere Lake in Orange County's Chester township, a terracotta-washed Italian Renaissance villa surveys the Hudson Valley with the composed authority of something transplanted wholesale from the Piedmont hills. The building was designed in 1911 by architect Carrère and Hastings — the firm responsible for the New York Public Library — for cotton merchant Robert Goelet, and the scale of that commission is legible in every detail: the symmetrical piano nobile facade with its aqua-shuttered windows, the clipped Italian parterre anchored by a bronze fountain, the stone colonnades framing views out over autumn hardwoods to the river beyond. Converted into Glenmere Mansion in 2010 as an intimate eighteen-room retreat, the property carries the atmosphere of a private estate that has simply agreed to receive guests.\n\nThe interiors navigate that tension between villa grandeur and domestic warmth with considerable confidence. Public rooms feature arched niches painted in soft sky blue, gold-ground quatrefoil carpets, and nailhead-trimmed wingback chairs in pewter velvet — a palette that lifts the formal plasterwork without competing with it. Guest rooms are furnished in ivory and warm taupe, with upholstered beds on dark-stained frames, alabaster pendant lanterns, gilded octagonal mirrors, and green velvet X-frame benches offering controlled pops of color against deep crown moldings. The loggia terrace, its stone columns intact, extends the spatial sequence outward, where wicker seating in aqua cushions echoes the shutters visible on the facade above.","snippet":"An 1911 Carrère & Hastings villa overlooking Glenmere Lake, converted to an 18-room private estate hotel.","bestFor":"Architecture enthusiasts and collectors seeking Hudson Valley estates","vibe":"Gilded-estate · intimate","highlights":["1911 Italian Renaissance villa by Carrère & Hastings architects","18-room mansion with original stone colonnades and parterre gardens","Perched above Glenmere Lake with river views to the Catskills"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$784","pricePerNightExclTax":"$784","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/Glenmere%20Mansion2.jpg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Glenmere Mansion — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Glenmere Mansion · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Glenmere Mansion captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/Glenmere%20Mansion1.jpg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Glenmere Mansion — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Glenmere Mansion · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Glenmere Mansion, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/Glenmere%20Mansion4.jpg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Glenmere Mansion — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Glenmere Mansion · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Glenmere Mansion — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/Glenmere%20Mansion3.jpg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Glenmere Mansion — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Glenmere Mansion · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Glenmere Mansion, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/Glenmere%20Mansion5.jpg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Glenmere Mansion — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Glenmere Mansion · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Glenmere Mansion — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]}]}
